Today, I had a violent allergic reaction to some bread I ate at a restaurant. How did they apologize? By sending me a free basket of bread. FML

Today, I ordered Chinese and told them I was allergic to eggs. I took a bite and I found some egg, quickly spat it out and took my antihistamines. When I returned with it and complained about my potential demise, they gave me a free orange to apologise. I'm allergic to oranges. FML

Today, after I explained to my waitress that I have an allergy to butter, she nonetheless put some on my baked potato. When I had her get me another, without butter, she came back with one and then asked if I would like butter with it. FML

Today, I had to go to the ER because of a terrible allergic reaction I had to the cookies my "friend" made for me. She assured me several times that there were no nuts in them. Turns out, she put nuts in them on purpose, to see whether or not I was really allergic. FML

Today, a customer had an allergic reaction to the almonds in the sundae I made for her. We're supposed to put the almonds on unless the customer asks otherwise. She complained to my boss that I'd poisoned her. FML

Today, I went to get food, I was late so my friend ordered for me. I took a few bites and it was getting hard to breathe. I realized it's a bluebery muffin, I'm deathly allergic. I look to my friend, she was laughing saying she wanted to see if it was true. I just got out of the hospital. FML

Today, I had a serious allergic reaction to the food I ate at a Chinese restaurant that supposedly didn't contain peanuts. According to my waitress, peanut oil "doesn't count". FML

Trip Advisor says no

Today, I was so excited that my favorite local spot reopened, I couldn’t wait to go there for lunch. Unfortunately, my waiter’s shirt was so caked with thick smelly cat hair, it sent me into an immediate allergy attack. Not only did I not get to eat my food, the manager refused to give me a refund.

Today, after a really bad day, I just wanted to order DoorDash. When my food came, I saw my burger had tomatoes in it, despite requesting no tomatoes. I’m deathly allergic. FML

I agree it's daft of them to send the same food that caused the issue but I also fail to see why they should apologise in the first place. It's not their fault if you have an allergy.

It bothers me when obviously fake FMLs get through like this. There is no way a restaurant would send food as an apology especially the same food that he was allergic to, if anything at all they'd send a gift card so you'll come back and hopefully spend more money there. Otherwise they risk being sued and losing their business. Also how did they get your address to send you the bread? Did you DEMAND they offer you something and leave your address? How did you not know you were "violently" allergic to something? Sorry, there is no way this is real, but if it is, YDI.

Before someone says "they sent it to him at the table" if OP was violently allergic and somehow didn't know about the allergic OP would have to be taken to a hospital. If you're allergic to something and complain enough to get free food sent to your table but aren't actually sick enough to have to go home then you're an asshole to your waitstaff and whatever restaurant you were dining in.

You're lucky to even get an apology. Why should they apologize? It's not their fault that you had an allergic reaction. Stuck up much?

Wow. Maybe they thought a negative plus a negative makes a positive or cancels each other out because they seem to know what their doing lol

Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML
